Jay Clark: TICK. Don't you hate it when your opponent has Gazza and you don't. Make sure you are not in that position this season. 150 every second week.

Al Paton: TICK. If you don't start with him you'll have to burn trades trying to get him in at some stage. Has Brisbane, GWS, Melbourne and Hawthorn (no tagger) before the bye so don't bank on a big price drop.

Sam Landsberger: CROSS. His average fell from 138 to 127 in the final five weeks last year. A trade-up option when he falls closer to $600k.

John Bruyn (2013 SuperCoach winner): TICK. Worth. Every. Cent. Hot tip for 2015, GAJ won't be available as a forward!

Jay To (2011 SuperCoach winner): TICK. Best player in the competition and Gold Coast has a great early draw.

Lauren Wood (MX sport reporter and Herald Sun 2013 office league champion): TICK. A certified lock as skipper every single week. Would still pick him even if he cost $1 million.

Gilbert Gardiner: CROSS. Hard to see him improve given quality of Suns midfield. More bang for buck elsewhere.

Jock Reynolds (host of Jock Reynolds SuperCoach podcast): TICK. Couldn't give a stuff about his price or when he has his bye. He's Gary Ablett and you'll need him Round 1.

John Bruyn: TICK. Highest job security of the rookies makes him worth the money. I'd be happy with an 80 point average from him. If you want to stack your mids, try fit him in as your seventh midfielder.

Jay To: TICK. Don't let the high price deter you from the Jaeger O'Meara of 2014.

Lauren Wood: TICK. Pricey given he hasn't played, but plenty of the leather plus a lot of game time equals value.

Gilbert Gardiner: TICK. Madness to leave him out, simply the best 'untried' talent on offer. Get on.

Jock Reynolds: QUESTION MARK. Better then Jaeger? Not in my book. Would want to be at this price.

John Bruyn: QUESTION MARK. Too much uncertainty about where he'll fit into the Swans' 22 for me. Won't average as highly as the other rookies who will get more game time in weaker sides. One to jump on if he fires early.

Jay To: QUESTION MARK. Keep watch over the NAB Challenge.

Lauren Wood: QUESTION MARK. Has ability to score well so his price is a steal, but wait until he gets through the NAB Challenge before pulling out the chequebook.

Gilbert Gardiner: CROSS. Brimming with talent, but can you trust his body to hold up?

Jay Clark: QUESTION MARK. More inclined to go for Dale Thomas, Dayne Beams or Shane Savage. Murph hasn't been at his best for a couple of years.

Al Paton: QUESTION MARK. Took him out at the last minute last year and he proved me right. Is on my short list but can only fit in so many top-line premium midfielders and he might miss the cut.

Sam Landsberger: CROSS. Dayne Beams is on sale at the same price. He's your man.

John Bruyn: TICK. Was held back by injuries in 2013. Take out last year and you are looking at a bona fide SuperCoach gun. The Carlton captain has a better SC track record than Dayne Beams - food for thought?

Jay To: TICK. Under-priced premium and should finish as a top-10 midfielder.

Lauren Wood: TICK. Easy to forget how well he racks up the points given his hot and cold 2013. An A-grader at a handy price.

Gilbert Gardiner: TICK. An elite talent too good to pass up now he is comfortable as the skipper.

Jock Reynolds: TICK. Scratch last year and he averaged 110+ SuperCoach points in his previous four seasons. Will rise again in 2014.

John Bruyn: CROSS. Huge ask from a second-year player to live up the mantle of a starting SuperCoach ruck - even one as good as this kid! Only consider if you go in with three mid-price ruck options. If Grundy is currently sitting in your R1 or R2, look for some money across your side and turn him into a more experienced player.

John Bruyn: CROSS. Warning - Mid-price trap! Too many better options in this price range. Anyone who you pick up at more than $400k should have the potential to be a keeper in your side. Even his midfield move pays off, I don't think it will result in his scoring lifting to the level we'd want from him.

Jay To: CROSS. Handy with fwd/def dual position status, but I can't see Watts becoming a premium.

Lauren Wood: CROSS. Could go either way under Paul Roos but SuperCoach is all about the tough decisions. May regret this one given more midfield time is on the cards.

Gilbert Gardiner: CROSS. Would need to string together a dozen triple-figure scores to come into consideration. Never again.

Jock Reynolds: CROSS. I want you to shove it right up em Jack old son, I really do. But my faith is fading.

John Bruyn: TICK. If he's fit Nic Nat will be nearly impossible to ignore. A good option to upgrade Grundy to in your initial squad. No one gets more SuperCoach points for less disposals than this guy. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Jay To: TICK. Great value and if named Round 1 and is a near lock.

Lauren Wood: QUESTION MARK. Body is the big question. A real toss of the coin given ruck-forward combo luxury is out the window.

Gilbert Gadiner: CROSS. Can score 150s as easily as 50s. Ruck-only status a worry for mine.

Jock Reynolds: QUESTION MARK. I'll pay close attention to that groin this pre-season. Not at full tilt yet.

Jay Clark: TICK. Massive tick here. Has been sizzling on the track running through the midfield. Set for a big breakthrough campaign. Might not score huge every week but consistency should improve.

Al Paton: QUESTION MARK. Nice price given I'm not sold on many of the more expensive defenders, but mid-pricers are so hard to get right. I want to see him on a wing in the NAB Challenge.

Sam Landsberger: TICK. Everyone at North is pumping this bloke up. Luke McDonald's arrival should push him up the ground. Give him a go.

John Bruyn: TICK. Getting huge raps down at Arden St. If he can lift his disposal rate through the middle this guy could increase his average by 10-15 points. If Bartel, McVeigh, Mitchell and Co seem expensive to you down back, Shaun's one to watch closely through the pre-season. Potential keeper.

Jay To: QUESTION MARK. Expected midfield time combined with a solid pre-season, Atley could have a breakout season

Lauren Wood: TICK. Absolutely flying this pre-season. Last year was a solid one and it's only onwards and upwards from there.

Gilbert Gardiner: TICK. Exciting talent on the cusp of breaking out as an attacking midfielder.

Jock Reynolds: CROSS. February flyer who promised me the world last pre-season and delivered bugger all. Prove me wrong, son.
